DCX S-Series Power Supply - Quick Start Guide
Overview
This Quick Start guide is intended to help you with the basic installation and setup of
your new DCX S Power Supply.
Consult your power supply manual for detailed information on ventilation, environmen-
tal requirements, operating the power supply, accessing the web page interface, main-
tenance, and troubleshooting.
Location
The DCX S Power Supply is available in three different sizes. Two different form factors
allow for operating the power supply on a benchtop or mounted vertically:
Use the keyhole mounting bracket to mount the unit in the needed position. Use M6
(6mm) screws to mount the unit.

Connect the Power Supply
• Ensure the power source is disconnected before working on line connections
• Ensure the power switch on the back of the unit is in the OFF position before making
any electrical connections
• Always connect the power supply into a grounded power source
• Ground the power supply by securing an 8 gage grounded conductor to the ground
screw located next to the air outlet
• The power supply installation should only be performed by qualified personnel and
in accordance with local standards and regulations
1. Detach the connector block on the back of the power supply.
2. Use three properly sized wires (No. 12 gage, 2.5 mm or according to local stan-
dards) to connect line 1, line 2, and ground to the connector block as shown.
Choose wires according to the current rating as specified on the label located on the
back of the unit. Be sure to use agency approved wiring and use sleeving or tubing
on each wire for double insulation.
3. Use cable ties to secure the wires to the connector block metal piece.
4. Secure an 8 gage grounded conductor to the ground screw located next to the air
outlet.
5. Connect the converter-booster-horn stack to the power supply using the RF cable.
Ensure the end with the ferrite is connected to the power supply.
6. Ensure the power switch on the back of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the con-
nector block back into the power supply. Tighten the two securing screws.
7. Connect the power supply to a single-phase, grounded, 3-wire, 50 or 60 Hz
200-240 V power source.

Test the Equipment
To test the power supply for proper operation, follow the steps listed below:
• Ensure that no one is in contact with the horn when testing the power supply
• Do not cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or converter is disconnected
1. Ensure the power supply is properly connected, as indicated in Section “Connect
the Power Supply” on page 1.
2. Turn on the power supply. The front panel Power LED and LCD turn on.
3. Press the Ultrasonic Test Key for 1-2 seconds, then release. The Sonics Active Indi-
cator appears while the Ultrasonic Test Key is pressed.
4. If the Alarm Indicator Icon begins flashing, press the Alarm Reset Key and repeat
step 3 one time only. If the alarm persists consult your power supply manual.
